Is it releasing the 26th ? Also is that the 3 day early start or when everyone gets access ?

The expansion is releasing on the 26th, yes.

For those who purchased the Epic Edition, they get access on the 22nd at 3pm Pacific Time.

Well, considering the 26th is a Monday, that’s likely the full release, meaning the 23 is early access.

who buys WoW without getting the complete package? We all know only the Deluxe Supreme Epic Legendary edition is the only one worth buying :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
